Tuesday 22 March | 7pm | All welcome!

A film by Fraser Denholm exploring the perceived wealth of Aberdeen as the city at the centre of the European Oil Industry, while on the other side of the equation it is a city with areas of multiple deprivation, insufficient infrastructure for the heavy industry it supports and a city council dealing with a £150 Million deficit. An open discussion on the issues raised in the film will follow.

After the success of recent weekend printmaking classes Peacock have been encouraged to offer supervised evening sessions. The aim is to help users become familiar with the workshops, to practice techniques and to gain confidence and benefit from regular supervision from Peacock Staff.
